Brooke lost her place in the samba and the judges do not notice this? *fumes* And where were any of the Nsync boys?

Anyway, bitterness aside, I loved Lance's samba and thought it was way better than his individual samba. There were actually hips in this one!
The hip hop I was not overly impressed with. It wasn't interesting enough for me. I do love that he threw in moves that were very obviously from Bye Bye Bye and the Pop intro. And it definitely felt very Lance.
Actually I think most of that routine was old Nsync routines thrown together.

I can't seem to vote on either the phone or online. Grrr

*whispers* I wasn't much into it either. I did like that Len and Bruno loved it.

I want to shove something at Carrie Ann sometimes.

I was able to vote on the phone and online... just under the wire, too.

I did get through finally

I have to be honest, I don't get why they think Brooke is so good? I mean, maybe I'm watching through Lance-tinted glasses but, she looks stiff to me, like she's being really careful about her foot placement. Too careful.

I wasn't a fan of the hip hop either.

Brooke looks like she's trying so hard that she's not having fun. She's technically ON but not very entertaining to me.

Yea, I don't really know. The judges just confuse me this season with the way they've been scoring everyone.

I agree about the hip hop - I didn't expect to be made really happy with it, and I wasn't, it was not bad but it didn't make me !!happy!! like both last week's dances did. I really hope he hasn't blown it by not doing a fabulous freestyle. I'd like him to end up at least second - equal to Joey's result would be fine!

The samba was better - nice to see some proper hip action! I haven't seen Brooke's freestyle, but I think what troubles me about her is that she doesn't really connect with the music. It was so obvious in last week's Jive - she couldn't figure out where she was because she'd missed a step, whereas if she'd had more musicality and understood how the steps and the music worked together, she'd have been able to get back into the groove. Lance *fell down* in one of his dances but got it back together.

I hate that the freestyle is weighted so heavily. They didn't spend 10 weeks doing freestyle, they spent 10 weeks doing ballroom and latin! Why would they not let them choose a style they've done before and do a bonus dance for points. I'm annoyed.

Another boybander better not do this show, I don't want to watch it again.

I suspect that the freestyle is a lot more difficult to choreograph, precisely because there aren't the restrictions. People don't seem to realise that having rules makes it *easier* to be creative! So a lot of the time, expectations for the freestyle are sky-high (They can do anything!) but really hard to fulfill - because being able to do *anything* makes it hard to decide what to do for the best.

Personally, I think it's a shame when the contestants do a freestyle that bears no relation to anything they've done on the show. I didn't like Apolo and Julianne's hip hop freestyle (in Joey's season) for exactly that reason - why spend all that time learning ballroom dances and then toss them away? I liked Joey's so much better, the way he referenced the dances he'd learned to do, and dazzled them up with lifts. That's the idea. Or Drew and Cheryl's completely fabulous "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" routine, which was in the ballroom 'mode' but totally fresh.

To me, Lance blew it with the decision to do a hip hop freestyle, and Lacey blew it with not choreographing some flashier stuff - I haven't seen the whole show but I understand that Brooke and Warren both did a lot of lifts. In fact, I'd not be at all surprised if Lacey wept on Lance's shoulder last night after the show and said, I blew it, I'm so sorry. I can imagine that. (Not that I would blame her entirely, but if they come third, I bet she'll blame herself.)

However, there is yet hope - maybe the voting will prove me wrong! *fingers firmly crossed*

I completely agree with every word! I think what sucks is Lacey is the new kid so she doesn't know that the best freestyles are the ones that sort of throw back to what they've learned... so it's not 'really' a free style.

I do think Lacey will blame herself if they come in third but really? She totally kicked hiney in the creativity department. I looked forward to seeing what she came up with every week.

Well, no member of the Backstreet Boys has yet to do DWTS....

Thankfully I'm not all that invested in the BSB. If I was, I'd shoot myself-- you know it's coming. Nick should start rehearsing now. *lmao*
